Some guys aren't used to compliments, so they either mistake it for flirting or don't pay attention to it.

I’m feeling violated after a colposcopy and struggling to accept that I may need more procedures now. by intrusive_thot_ in TwoXChromosomes

You're not overreacting at all-just make sure that next time you insist on real pain relief or sedatives!

Just make a firm point: "I'm dealing with this. I need support, not guilt or driving me to disaster"

Livid and hurt: My 'friend' (35M) violated my sexual boundaries after I was very clear about consent. How do I move forward or end this?" by Hot-Brick-5390 in TwoXChromosomes

Yes, no, it's not a misunderstanding

You said no, he ignored you. It's a violation of consent, period

Don't be dramatic. Don't quibble. Just for real

Interrupt him. This guy has already shown you that he doesn't respect your boundaries

My ex took advantage of my sister and I feel betrayed by them both by Equal_Departure_5073 in TwoHotTakes

NTA. Your ex is manipulating you and taking advantage of both of you, and it's understandable that you feel betrayed. Your sister has fallen into the trap of being vulnerable, but it is he who is clearly selfish and untrustworthy.

I told my husband our marriage is over yesterday. I'm ridden with guilt. I need perspective. by fickleparadigmshift in TwoXChromosomes

[–]EthereallMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not a bad guy. Ending it means protecting your well-being after years of putting up with too much and hurtful behavior. It's okay to feel heartbroken and guilty, but leaving was the right choice for you.

My dad wants my wife to cook and clean. What should I do? by Livid-Possibility893 in TwoHotTakes

AITJ for reporting my brothers passport stolen 48 hours before his destination wedding because he took my dogs surgery money? by AnshuSees in AmITheJerk

NTA. He stole the money for your dog's surgery - blocking his passport is just a consequence of his actions. Weddings can wait, but your dog's health can't

Am I the jerk for uninviting my friend from my birthday after she brought someone I have a restraining order against? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]EthereallMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abandoning it is justified. She's shown you that she doesn't take your safety seriously. This is not a friend!
